Comparison of Serum Ferritin Levels between Diabetic Patients with COVID-19 and Non-diabetic Patients with COVID-19 Based on Age Groups and Gender
<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b><span cambria="" style="font-family:">Aims: </span></b><span cambria="" style="font-family:">Chronic diseases strongly affect the severity of infection and mortality in patients with COVID-19. High levels of ferritin also indicate the severity of the disease and may indicate the presence of secondary infections among patients. </span><span cambria="" style="font-family:">The aim of this study was to compare ferritin levels in diabetic patients with COVID-19 and non-diabetic patients with COVID-19 based on age and gender groups.</span></span></span><br>
<span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b><span cambria="" style="font-family:">Instruments & Methods: </span></b><span cambria="" style="font-family:">This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 64 patients with COVID-19 and 26 people without COVID-19 referred to the Najaf Hospitals, Najaf, Iraq. Samples were selected by available sampling method. Clinical tests and laboratory diagnosis were used to investigate the subjects.</span></span></span><br>
<span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b><span cambria="" style="font-family:">Findings: </span></b><span cambria="" style="font-family:">In diabetic patients with COVID-19, the highest level of ferritin was in the age group of 51-65 years and the lowest level of ferritin was in the age group of ≤20 years. In non-diabetic patients with COVID-19, the highest level of ferritin was in the age group of 66-80 years and the lowest level was in the age group of ≤20 years. In diabetic patients with COVID-19, ferritin levels were higher in women than men. However, in non-diabetic patients with COVID-19, ferritin levels were higher in men than women. There was no significant difference between the disease groups in terms of ferritin production based on age groups and gender (p>0.05).</span><b><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif""></span></b></span></span><br>
<span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b><span cambria="" style="font-family:">Conclusion: </span></b><span cambria="" style="font-family:">Serum ferritin levels increase in diabetic patients with COVID infection than in non-diabetic COVID-19 patients, and the elderly produce higher levels of ferritin. Also, in diabetic patients ferritin levels increase in women more than men with COVID-19.</span><b><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif""></span></b></span></span></span><br>
